Why does a watch need servicing?

As with all precision instruments, a watch should be regularly serviced by an officially certified customer service centre so that it continues to function perfectly – as one would do with a car. After all, each second that your watch ticks is a moment of precision and performance. The frequency with which a watch should be serviced depends on the model, climatic conditions and the habits of the wearer. As a rule, a general service is recommended every three to four years.
